What led Kristin Rossum to drop out of college?
Imagine having a wife as terrible as this woman. Now the woman's name is Kristen, and Kristen is 19 when this story starts, and she's going to college in California. But here's the thing about Kristen. She's really into drugs, particularly meth. And because of that, she has lots of problems in school, she skips a lot of classes, she starts failing her courses, and she's constantly fighting with her parents over all of this. But Kristen doesn't seem to care. And one day in 1995, she decides she's had enough of college and enough of trying to please her parents. And she drops out. Then she heads to Tijuana, Mexico, probably to party and buy drugs. And that is where she meets this guy, Greg. Greg is also a college student and he's vacationing in Tijuana with his brothers.
So Kristen and Greg, they meet and they start talking and they hit it off. And over time, Kristen starts to think, Greg got a foin. And Greg thinks Kristen is foin right back. And soon they start dating. And it's not long before Kristen moves in with Greg. And as they continue to spend more and more time together, Greg inevitably finds out that Kristen is addicted to meth. Now, at this point, he could leave her, but that's not what he does. He really loves Kristen. So he stays. He's going to try and help her. And he fully commits to that. He monitors her. He supports her. He even encourages her to enroll back in college, this time in San Diego. And she does. And a few months go by. And slowly, because of Greg's support, Kristen starts to get better and she gets fully sober.
And years go by, and it's now 1999, and Kristen is still doing well. In fact, she actually graduates with honors, with a degree in biochemistry, and she's able to get a job as a forensic toxicologist at the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, which is a great job for her. That same year, they get married, and so things seem to be going really well for them. However, then all that starts to fall apart because after only a few months of marriage, Kristen starts to feel trapped. I mean, she thinks Greg is just too clingy, but instead of asking for more space or whatever, she starts smashing with other guys. Specifically, she sleeps with two of her coworkers. But then, it gets even worse. Because in the year 2000, she gets a new boss.
This guy, Michael. And Kristen and Michael, they start working together, and pretty quickly, Kristen starts thinking Michael's kind of fun. And he's really into her too.
How did Kristin's relationship with Greg begin?
And so they start smashing. Which is terrible. Not only is Kristen married, but Michael is also married. But whatever, they don't seem to care. They're going to keep this affair going. And here's where the story starts to get dark. At her job at the medical examiner's office, Kristen is in charge of the logbook where they log some of the evidence that's sent to them. Sometimes that evidence will be drugs. Sometimes that evidence will be meth specifically. So Kristen is around this meth all day, and eventually she becomes tempted to take some. And ultimately, she does. And then, of course, she does it again, and again, and again. And before long, she has fully relapsed. Now, inevitably, Michael ends up finding out about all this.
I mean, he's her boss. Of course he finds out. And he knows that if he reports her to the higher ups, she'll get fired. And he doesn't want that. He wants to keep working with her and, you know, keep smashing. And so he stays quiet. Now at this point, Kristen is living a total double life. She's getting high at work and cheating with Michael, but then she'll go home to Greg every night pretending like everything is okay. And like, she can't keep this up. So after a while, she finally decides to go to Greg and she says that she wants a separation. And poor Greg, he's devastated. I mean, why is she doing this to him? He spent years helping her get sober and now she's doing this? And so he starts investigating and he's trying to figure out what's really going on with his wife.
And that is when he finds a glass pipe with some of her things.
